There are plenty of great roles for women in Broadway musicals, but none more demanding than the these two: Transforming Eva Peron from an ambitious teen to a shrewd politician in “Evita” and turning mothers into something a little less than loving as Mama Rose in “Gypsy.”
Patti LuPone has won the Tony for both of them. It’s a resume few performers can e match. And bolstered with starring moments in everything from from “Annie Get Your Gun” to “Sweeny Todd” its gives her a rich repertoire to draw upon for her gig with the Colorado Symphony Saturday night.
The show starts with Scott O’Neil leading the musicians through a few selections, then LuPone join ins with her picks.
What will LuPone sing?
Whatever LuPone wants, of course. She’s a Broadway diva. You just sit back and love it.
Tickets for the Boettcher Concert Hall event start at $46. You can get them at the box office, via phone at 303- 623-7876, or online at coloradosymphony.org
